Weather Underground

Here we go again, another pointless change... to cater to tweens on phones, maybe? Who knows, but as in the past, it just gets dumber and dumber, uglier and uglier. Less information, more white space, less hard weather data. Now you have to switch from tab to tab to see a forecast OR current conditions - Not both. But I guess putting actual real data wouldn't be politically correct. WU has been going downhill ever since the Weather Channel consumed them.

This website is useless. Why? Because Wunderground or the corporate entity that owns it (IBM?) has loaded so much crap on the site that it's become totally dysfunctional. Nothing loads or, if it does, it moves slower than a glacier. It's always intrigued me how corporations and other large entities, as they become larger and more profitable, seem to attract the most dimwitted and incompetent of employees. Probably because they're looking for subservience, not competence. Regardless, they have totally *******@cked up this website.

I can't add much to the litany of one-star reviews that have been posted in the past couple of weeks, since the redesign removed lots of information I consider vital, and made other info, that used to be on a single screen, accessible only after clicking on different tabs.
BUT what I can tell you is I found a partial replacement. It's not as good, imho, as the old Wunderground, and if anyone can suggest something better I'd love to hear it, but for the time being I'm using the intellicast website instead: http://www.intellicast.com/Local/Weather.aspx?location=USPA1609

Where did the basically 'good' app go. The widget on my phone disappeared with no replacement in sight. The app is unreadable and full of spam. They don't even have to gather the data, since it's crowd sourced from 1000s of home weather stations, just compile and display the data. I'm looking for an opensource weather app now, this is a waste of my time...
Also I had paid to use the app with no adds, but can't find anyway to reactivate that 'account' or any record of me paying... strange. Wouldn't hand them a cent now...

Whatever raw deal was made to tank Intellicast and substitute wunderground in it's place, was a real boner move. Nothing about this new site works logically or half as intelligible as what it replaced. You can't even click on the main map to zoom in on your area. When you do enter your zip code, you get redirected to this clucky 1990's era toy map that looks like it was made by Fisher-Price. The whole site operates like a high school project. WU can't go away fast enough.

The Android app has taken a big step backwards. The graphics used to be crisp, clear and concise while giving good detail. The new graphics are more low-resolution and rather clunky and confusing compared to the old graphics. The neighborhood weather stations I relied on for the most accurate conditions are no longer to be found in the weather station list. And to top it off, a notification saying it had updated the weather showing on my phone home page woke me up at 1am and there does not appear to be a way to turn the sound off for that notification. I felt like a respected adult user with the old app graphics, now I feel like I'm being treated like a kindergartner.

Useless cartoon rainbow-circle thermometer takes entire opening screen. It's the ONLY app without a single-screen weekly-forecast. Daily forecast graph-chart only has 3 days per screen, least of ANY app. No rain-total, wind info, or prior-day info on daily forecast graph-chart. Hourly-graph split into 3 graphs, so can't see temp & wind in same graph. It takes many swipes & touches to get to hourly-graph. Informative daily forecast graph is 3 swipes down. Graph x-axis is way too overstretched, & no verticle gridlines, so graph is almost unreadable. Landscape-view has same number of hours on graph as portrait-view, so is ENTIRELY useless

Hate this new site, years ago WU had a great site, they changed to the worst, but at least they left WU classic, after a few years they dropped that and I went over to intellecast for their discriptive one page 10 day forecast... now WU has managed to screw that up now.
Their site takes forever to load, many times completely loading without the forecast. I Saw on national weather service site that we are in a high wind warning tomorrow, nothing mentioned on WU. Is this the way it will be during tornado season? Dangerous
Is it Weather Undergrounds mission to take over and screw up all weather sites?

Since the acquisition of Intellicast, the transition to Wundercast has been a horrible experience!

On my (Chrome) browser, the site will often work for the first city chosen, but then when trying to select another city, the site won't properly refresh, and all of the tabs (e.g. "10-day") won't show.

The organization of the Wundercast site is far inferior to the former Intellicast site, difficult to navigate, difficult to read (the Wundercast maps are worse than the old Intellicast organization), and often fail to properly load.

Way to destroy a formerly good service (Intellicast) than many of us relied on daily!

I have been a member for years. Without any warning, the site was changed radically a couple of weeks ago, and now doesn't function in a way that is useful to me. I complained and was told I would receive a refund. I asked again today, as I did not get the refund and was told that they tried, but it wouldn't go through, and they provided me with a lame link that doesn't work either, and said I wouldn't get a refund, because what they offered in compensation was adequate. Ripoff.

They have been bought again and there is no support. I had my PWS working and then one day it wasn't. Can't get logged in to see whats up. When you go to the log in page there is a statement reading that they have upgraded there system and to reset your password if you can't log in. When you go though the reset process you never revive an email that was working fine before. You go to the support page and there is no phone number to call you have to send an email to which you never here from them.

Another update today and now the map is smaller with a huge blank space at the bottom of the screen that cant be filled in. The new default map settings are stupid and it doesn't remember my settings. This was one of my 3 maps for comparison and seeing a quick recent radar map, not anymore, now it's complete garbage. Removed from my bookmarks and deleting my account. Fear mongers at weather channel have completely destroyed this site. Radar data is so far from reality now it's useless. https://www.wunderground.com/wundermap?lat=28.02&lon=-80.68&radar=1
